Mother’s Day is celebrated on the 2nd Sunday of May every year. Mother’s Day is a day to celebrate motherhood, maternal bonds and the influence of mothers in our society. On this special day, we honour and celebrate mothers with a beautiful poem by Helen Steiner Rice (below). Wishing all mothers a merry and joyous Mother’s Day.

A Mother’s Love

Helen Steiner Rice

A Mother's love is something

that no one can explain,

It is made of deep devotion

and of sacrifice and pain,

It is endless and unselfish

and enduring come what may

For nothing can destroy it

or take that love away . . .

It is patient and forgiving

when all others are forsaking,

And it never fails or falters

even though the heart is breaking . . .

It believes beyond believing

when the world around condemns,

And it glows with all the beauty

of the rarest, brightest gems . . .

It is far beyond defining,

it defies all explanation,

And it still remains a secret

like the mysteries of creation . . .

A many splendored miracle

man cannot understand

And another wondrous evidence

of God's tender guiding hand.
